Haven't been feeling well for a few days, have had a sickness bug and haven't been able to keep much down.
Sitting on my laptop in bed watching YouTube just now and all of a sudden with no warning, my eyesight went totally black, my head was pounding, I felt warm all over and my arms were tingling. It went within 10 seconds or so but I genuinely was terrified for those 10 seconds.
Something to worry about or just related to being dehydrated etc?

Yes I would absolutely call 111. It sounds like you blacked out, and if you were sitting at the time that is particularly worrying. Unexplained black outs also have implications for driving (eg 6 months ban) unless a clear reversible cause has been identified and treated.

I’d ring 111, that needs checking out.

Sorry not 101. The medical one.

No medical insight but do you have someone with you?

Ring 101? That sounds scary.
